7 things!

7 Things I Can Do

1. Work out 6 days a week. I am kind of a nut about this, but also pretty proud of that too!
2. Cook. Whenever Geoff lists the things that made him love me... the way I cook is the first or second thing on his list. I guess its a true- a way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
3. Hang out with 25 adults with disabilities. I love my job so much. I am going to miss it so much whenever we move to Texas. These people have inspired me and taught me more than anything I have ever done in my life.
4. Sing. Most people don't know that about me anymore. I don't really "share" that talent anymore, but growing up I was all about choir and vocal performance. I have sung probably about 30 solos or more in my lifetime.
5. Give myself really great pedicures. People mistake them for professional ones all the time.
6. Scrapbook. I never do it anymore due to time issues, but back in the day it was a huge hobby of mine.
7. Decorate! I love interior decorating sooo much! I am going to post pics up soon of my little apartment and what I have done with it.

7 Things I Can't Do

1. Sew (me either Hill). My mom wasn't huge into it, so I never really got into it either.
2. Go longer than a week without Diet Coke... believe me I have tried.
3. Go more than a few hours without texting or talking to Geoff... I am kind of addicted to that kid!!
4. Go more than a day or two without plucking my eyebrows... I HATE having stray hairs so I am a fanatic about checking my eyebrows
5. Eat without counting calories. I am kind of obsessed with calories and what I put into my body. Its a good thing but also kind of a bad thing cause I don't enjoy food as much.
6. I can't do the splits. I used to... but not anymore.
7. I can't help but have pride in my home state (texas)


7 Things That Attracted Me To Geoffrey (mind you we were like best friends for like a year and a half before we even dated, so these events occurred all over the place)

1. One of my first memories of Geoff where I thought he was pretty special was when at the end of one of the semesters, everyone had to move out of their apartments and move into different ones (weird I know), except for his apartment. Did that stop him from helping out? No! This man helped like 4-5 apartments of girls move, including mine. He was a sweaty mess, but man can that guy work hard! I love it!
2. His dimples. I love them!!
3. He has the most amazing blue eyes!!
4. His passion for things, even though they are sometimes so outlandish (salt water fish tanks, paraglyding...can you say $$$$)
5. He has such a great attitude about life. He has goals and hopes for the future but we always seem to have so much fun here and now!
6. How he would call me "hot momma"... haha... It makes me laugh to think of him saying that.
7. His love of the gospel. He bore his testimony one Sunday, a few months after I fist met him, and I remember how powerful it was.


7 Things I Want To Do Before I Die

1. Have babies!!
2. Travel (especially to Europe and back east- Boston, NYC and DC)
3. If we can afford it, I would like to adopt a child with a disability
4. Swim with sharks (its like my greatest fear & I want to face it, crazy I know)
5. Be with my entire family (including my sister) in the temple.
6. Take a roadtrip across the country and go to as many major league baseball games I can. How cool would that be?
7. Be the creator of a world famous recipe!

7 Things I Say The Most

1. "what the crap"
2. "fo shizzle"
3. "I love you"
4. "Is that appropriate behavior"? (I say this to the clients I work with everyday about 349058304958 times a day... we try to work on their social skills, ha ha)
5. "Remember to act like an adult" (again, to my clients)
6. "Talk to your staff" (yet again, to my clients... they always come to me for answers since I am the supervisor, but I redirect them to their direct care staff)
7. ???

My Favorite 7 Foods

1. Special K with redberries cereal.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
2. Diet Coke (ok its not really a food, but i love it sooooooo much!!)
3. cheesecake, though i rarely eat it now because of the high calorie count
4. I love a good, juicy steak (i am a texas gal)
5. mashed potatoes
6. corn on the cob

Sorry, I tried to reply to your blog earlier today but it wouldn't allow me to...so this is kind of on the late side. We would love to come visit you guys tomorrow afternoon or evening--whatever you're up to, if you're still up to it. Let us know. I'm working tonight so I'll be sleeping until about 1pm-ish--so it would be sometime after that. If you're up to it we would love to hang out with you guys and if not we'll try again another time.

Thanks so much for spending the evening with us. We had so much fun, and I was so excited I got to be there :) I will e-mail you those pictures, can you send me your e-mail address?

1. I looove the new layout.
2. I am not checking your blog while I am at work.
3. I hate it that by the time I get married you'll most likely be in Texas and we cannot be married friends.
4. I can't cook, maybe that's the delay.
5. #5 of "Things I want to do before I die" is my favorite.
6. Thanks to you I currently want mashed potatoes.
7. I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed when I read the seven most common phrases you say! My favorite was probably, "Is that appropriate behavior?" hahaah!
